Anger is like the emotion that worlds up in response to things like hurt and dislocation. We're not pissed off because someone's done something bad to us, we're pissed off because we've been hurt. And anger arises as this secondary emotion that's alerting us to the fact that we have been hurt but haven't known how to deal with it.
Many of us are enduring a painful new awareness of the conflicts that underpin our social relationships. For Buddhist teacher Lama Rod Owens, this is the beginning of a revolutionary path to our liberation - a necessary upheaval that will rebalance us forever.
In this profound, perspective-shifting conversation, we are urged to stop looking for short-cuts and panaceas for our suffering, and instead to engage with the deep, transformative work of change.
